Its been a long time I blogged about any rice items. So here is a simple and helthy recipe.I saw this in kannada programme “Aduge Aramane” on ‘Udaya news’ channel few months back (Before coming to US). I was a regular viewer of that program. Everyone at home cursed me for that, especially my cousin who did not understand Kannada!!. At some point I was so addicted to these programs that on sundays, morning 11 to 1.30, I would watch one after the other recipe programs on different channels!!!. I am missing them now :).

This is my first ever meme. Some time back, one of the food bloggers tagged me with a meme. I did not know what is “meme”. I did not have any time to find out about it. Last year blogging new recipes was not so easy for me because of time constraints.
This time Anthony , Ujwala tagged me with this meme. So here it goes –
- Please list three recipes you have recently bookmarked from foodblogs to try:
This is a very difficult question. There are so many of them to list here. I check so many blogs daily and make a mental note (yes..I dont bookmark them…thats the biggest mistake I do always) of so many recipes. (I start checking all the blogs in my blogroll & then the blogrolls in those blogs and so on. Though I know some of them update only once a week, I still check all the blogs daily). Still I will try and list out few recipes here…
Annita’s Fried Idlis Shyamala’s Strawberry streusel cake RP’s Popcorn Shrimps Vineela’s Crunchy Taco shells
There were so many others which I am not able to recollect now :(.
May be its the time I start saving the bookmarks :).
- A foodblog in your vicinity:
I feel all the food blogs are in my vicinity, considering I can see them whenever I want. I do not think the physical presence of the blogger is important here.
A foodblog (or more) located far from you: Only the bloggers who are yet to start their blogs. hahaha
A foodblog (or several) you have discovered recently (where did you find it?):
There are so many of them. I come across atleast one new blog daily through blogrolls of all the food blogs :). Some of them which I found today are TotheTooth Sumi’s Kitchen Indian Food 5. Any people or bloggers you want to tag with this meme? All of them are already tagged I think ( I am too late). Still I will tag some people who have not blogged about this meme…
